Chapter 155, Sky City Project

Longling Town, Meijiang County, compared with the lively moon tourism in the outside world, Fuyun Group at this time has become quite low-key, and it has not come out with new technological products for a long time, so that some people are wondering if Li Fu is Jiang Lang's end.

Here in the space center of Longling Town, on the huge parking field, several huge "Hercules" aerospace planes are quietly parked next to their respective terminals, and the ground staff are extremely busy at this time, replenishing energy, compressed air and materials that need to be transported to space for these aerospace aircraft.

Here in the command center, Li Fu is discussing with Yu Liang, Chen Bin, Cao Haitao, Yang Yiping and others about building their own space station, the Sky City Plan, which is a huge plan formulated by everyone, the purpose is to build a space station in space first, and then slowly build a huge space city around this space station.

Sky City, just by listening to the name, you can know that Li Fu and the others are obviously unwilling to just build a space station.

A detailed planning map is playing on the huge monitor, which is what the whole sky is planning, in the planning, the sky city can be divided into five parts: space agriculture area, space factory area, space port, scientific research area, and living area, each part is a separate structure, and then connected together with channels to form a huge space city.

"Should we think about adding weapons systems to it, or if a meteorite or a scrapped satellite hits our Sky City, it will cause incalculable damage."

Yu Liang looked at the big screen, the planning of the entire Sky City has already been done, and the construction is about to start, and now everyone is discussing the improvement of the Sky City, and see what else needs to be improved.

After all, space is not the ground, and it is definitely not easy to make up for mistakes once there is a mistake, especially from the beginning of the design should take all aspects into account.

"This is a problem that we haven't considered, but when we applied for the construction of Sky City, we didn't apply for a weapon system from above, and if we add a weapon system now, will it be considered illegal?"

Chen Bin nodded when he heard this, the Sky City has a huge investment, the stakes are significant, and it is the bridgehead for the Fuyun Group to enter space, so naturally it cannot be missed, but in space, if there is no weapon system for self-defense, meteorites, satellite wreckage, etc. can easily cause great damage to the Sky City.

Historically, the International Space Station has been hit by debris of abandoned satellites, almost crashing the International Space Station, you must know that in the decades of human space exploration, the number of satellite debris, rocket wreckage, abandoned satellites, spaceships, etc. in space has been quite large.

And as time goes by, there will be more and more space junk in space, and these space junk moving at high speed in space will cause huge losses as long as they collide with satellites, spaceships, space stations, etc.

Therefore, the International Space Station and Tiangong Space Station are equipped with advanced detection instruments, which can detect these space junk in a large area, and once it is found that there is space junk that will hit them, they will immediately use weapons to destroy them, or change orbits to dodge.

"Our Sky City will definitely be very large in the future, even if we install many large plasma engines, it is not easy to change orbits, if there is really no weapon system, it will definitely be hit by space junk in the future."

Li Fu also nodded, space junk is a problem that has to be considered, thinking of this, Li Fu couldn't help frowning.

"According to international practice, this outer space does not belong to any country, and it is not against the laws of any country if we have a weapon system on the Sky City, but after all, we are Huaxia, and our company is also in China, so it stands to reason that the Sky City we built should also be regarded as the territory of Huaxia, and naturally it must also belong to the jurisdiction of Huaxia and abide by the laws of Huaxia, so this matter is not easy to do."

Yang Yiping also frowned and said the key point.

"If we apply to something now, do you think the above will agree that we will be equipped with weapons systems in Sky City?"

Cao Haitao touched his chin and thought about it carefully.

"We in Huaxia are very strict about weapons management, and it is definitely not easy for a private company to be equipped with a weapon system, let alone in space."

"Our company has applied for many times to equip security personnel with weapons, and now they can only be equipped with some simple weapons, and they must be checked regularly, I see it hanging!"

Yu Liang shook his head, Fuyun Group has developed to the present, the scale is huge, and there are many high-tech technologies, so in terms of security, it has also invested a huge amount of money to build a huge security team, and also applied for weapons, and it can be applied because the technology on the side of Fuyun Group is too important, and foreign spies are frequently discovered, in order to protect their own technology, they naturally have to agree.

"A weapon system in space, and a weapon system that is still used to destroy space junk, the power of this weapon must be okay, preferably a weapon system similar to a laser weapon."

Chen Bin didn't think about the question of whether it was legal or not, but was thinking about what kind of weapon was more appropriate.

When the others heard the laser weapon, they couldn't help but nod their heads, the traditional weapon system is not easy to use in space, you must know that the speed of space junk is very fast, and the speed in space orbit can reach a speed of several kilometers, or even more than ten kilometers per second.

Such an astonishing speed, on the one hand, the requirements for detection equipment are very high, which can find these space junk from a long distance, and the other is that the requirements for attack weapon systems are very high, and you can't deal with these small space junk with ordinary weapons.

It's okay to use missiles to attack space junk, but after the missile explodes, it will produce more space junk itself, and other weapons are basically useless in space.

On the contrary, laser weapons are very suitable, the advantages of laser weapons are very obvious, the light energy output of laser weapons can reach the level of the speed of light, and it is truly as fast as lightning; Laser weapons can accurately target attacks; The energy release of laser weapons is controllable – high-energy beams can be used for lethal strikes and high-speed cuts, while low-energy beams can cause non-lethal damage.

Using laser weapons to destroy space junk in space is definitely the most suitable method at present, and no other weapon system can destroy space junk as fast, accurate, and pollution-free as laser weapons.

"Of course, laser weapons are a very good choice, but laser weapons belong to the top weapons now, and the countries on the whole earth that have mastered laser weapons are no more than a slap in the face, and now these laser weapons are only limited to laser stun devices, and those who really use lasers to carry out physical attacks have not heard of relevant actual combat cases until now."

"Let's not talk about the legality of the issue, it is definitely not easy for us to develop laser weapons that can be used for physical attacks."

Cao Haitao frowned bitterly, laser weapons can often be seen in science fiction movies, attacks between space fighters, laser beams constantly flashing in the void, accompanied by spaceships that are blown up by laser beams, etc., can be described as very cool.

However, in reality, the current level of science and technology of human beings is not capable of creating advanced laser weapon systems similar to those in science fiction movies, otherwise they still need to use missiles to deal with missiles.

As long as there are laser weapons, if the laser beam moving at the speed of light can intercept missiles, it will not be able to destroy all the enemy's missiles at will, and all the famous anti-missile systems can be thrown into the trash.

"If you don't use laser weapons, what other weapon systems can be used in space? Not to mention that it is still used to deal with high-speed moving space junk. ”

Chen Bin, who was the first to propose the use of laser weapons, shook his head and objected, knowing that as early as the last century, advanced Western countries experimented with anti-satellite weapons, which were actually experiments to destroy directional targets in space.

The means used, namely anti-satellite missiles and anti-satellite satellites, use physical propulsion means to collide or explode to destroy targets, and the reaction speed of this means is relatively slow and very troublesome.

To launch missiles and satellites into space, and then calculate the orbit of the target, etc., and finally destroy the target, if Fuyun Group needs to use such means to deal with space junk in space, it is obviously very costly, and it is not cost-effective, and it will produce more space junk.

"It's not entirely impossible for laser weapons to be manufactured, and laser weapons are also very suitable weapon systems for use in space, if we really install a laser weapon system on top of Sky City, there is nothing to worry about the security of Sky City."

Li Fu, who had been silent, nodded slowly, from the civilization seeds of the super civilization Dahan Science and Technology Empire, Li Fu knew that this laser weapon could be regarded as a very mainstream attack weapon in the universe, and more precisely, it should be a kind of energy weapon.

Laser weapons are very rudimentary energy weapons, and basically all cosmic civilizations can master this kind of weapon.
